Justin Hulsey - The Leaving Lyrics

We were younger than we thought we were when we grew up
Oh so eager to become our shadows in the sun
But then a bomb was dropped and we burned right into the sidewalk
Forever a shadow we stay

You will haunt me like a daydream in the middle of the night
I'll be hands on knees and head to the wall, I will fight for life

Oh it feels so good when it breaks your heart

Maybe it's the leaving that we love so much
Maybe it's the leaving that we cannot let go of
Maybe it's believing that we long to lose
Maybe it's the leaving

Don't undress in front of me for I am a human being
I will sink my teeth and tear into your bones
And with red stained lips and fingertips I will hold you up
Forever a song unsung

I remember the rides on the roads under stars when I was all alone
Like a lover remembers a love or a traveler remembers home

Oh it feels so good when it breaks my heart

Maybe it's the leaving that we love so much
Maybe it's the leaving that we cannot let go of
Maybe it's believing that we long to lose
Maybe it's the leaving

Though my dream is smoke
My past premonition
I've got rain in my wine
I lay still
My last words were my first
